Won’t You Help a Mother Out?

Share this:

Mother’s Day’s coming up — and you know your mom would want you to help out other mothers in need! The new microphilanthropic organization Help A Mother Out is sponsoring a diaper and tampon drive for local low-income and homeless women and families.

As it turns out, low-income family advocacy groups are always in need of hygiene products. That’s becauseWIC money doesn’t cover diapers, and diaper companies don’t donate their products to shelters and other service providers. Outrageous, huh?

Or, if you want to drop things off in person for Help a Mom Out’s Health and Hygiene Drive, you can drop off diapers (sizes 3-6 in particular), diaper wipes and ointment, tampons and pads (unopened boxes only), deodorant, or heck, even hotel shampoos at either Natural Resources in SF or SadieDey’s Cafe in Oakland. This drive is going through May 31, so if you miss Mother’s Day, you can make up for it to your mother in sanitary products!

Big ups to Friend of the Appeal Rachel F., one of the Help a Mother Out founders, for organizing this and telling us about it!
